Gingerbread Aprons

Every year during the Christmas season my daughter Angela has a traditional cookie baking and decorating day with her children Ginger and Charlie. I know the children look forward to the cookie making, and they always send me pictures of the treats they have produced. Last week I was in Hobby Lobby and I saw some fabric that reminded me of their yearly cookie day. It was printed with gingerbread men and was designed for making aprons.

When I saw it I knew I had to make these aprons for Angela and Ginger.

They were the pre-printed panels with instructions, so I knew they wouldn't take long to put together.

There was a main apron part, a flounce, a pocket, and ties for the neck and waist.

The mother/daughter aprons were as adorable as I had hoped! But, as I was sewing them I was wondering what I could send in the box with the aprons to Charlie. The light bulb finally came on, and I realized that I should make him an apron too, since he also helps with the cookie baking and decorating.

For Charlie I made a plain chef's apron with a double pocket. The smallest pocket is made of gingerbread fabric that coordinates with the other aprons.



I used the body of Ginger's apron as a pattern and lengthened it by 8 inches since there was no ruffle.
